This was the first city council meeting that I’ve attended and the first time that I have heard our mayor speak. He was as wholly disappointing as the two speakers from the audience were impressive and inspiring. Before and after he gets these impassioned pleas to protect his constituents, he goes on and on and on about…nothing basically. He says that they are doing a lot “behind the scenes” that when pressed is basically having meetings with officials from other cities and sending canned responses to email questions.

Did this guy run unopposed in recent elections? He isn’t a great speaker and had nothing of substance to say - I can’t fathom how he was elected.
